The Sweden international has been linked with the Premier League pair after an impressive opening half of the season.
The 24-year-old has scored five goals and assisted another four in Bundesliga II as his side sit top of the table.
German publication Bild suggest the former Malmo star could arrive at Anfield or the King Power Stadium for as little as £9million in January.
However, Leipzig CEO Olivier Mintzlaff has hit back at the speculation by categorically ruling out the sale of Forsberg.

He said: “Everyone can rest assured that we are not interested in any enquiries for Emil Forsberg. He is not for sale.”
European heavyweights Roma, Valencia, and Inter Milan have also been credited with an interest in Forsberg.
